What you need
Steps
Start with slightly damp, tangle-free hair. Wash or mist hair so it is about 80 percent dry. Bone-dry hair holds the shape less well.
Place the curling rod on top of your head like a headband. Put the middle at your crown so the two ends hang evenly in front of each shoulder.
Split your hair into two equal halves. Clip one side out of the way so you can work on the other without mixing sections.
Take a 1 to 2 inch section at the front of one side. Wrap it around the rod, moving away from your face, and keep the hair flat and smooth.
Add more hair to the section as you wrap toward the back of your head. Keep the tension even but loose enough to be comfortable.
Repeat on the other side, wrapping in the opposite direction. Both sides should meet at the back of your head.
Secure the ends. Tie the two ends of the rod together at the nape with a satin scrunchie, or use the tie that comes with the rod.
Leave the curls to set for 6 to 8 hours, or sleep on them overnight. A satin pillowcase helps reduce frizz.
Unwrap the rod slowly and slide it out. Separate the curls with your fingers, then finish with a drop of hair oil or a light mist.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not wrap too tightly. Tight wrapping leaves sharp kinks and can feel uncomfortable while you sleep.
Use satin scrunchies rather than thin elastic bands, which can leave dents in the curls.
If your hair is very straight or slippery, apply a light mousse to damp hair before wrapping.
Skip the hairbrush after unwrapping. Finger combing keeps the curls smooth and bouncy.
Questions
Can I use this method on dry hair?
Yes, but the curls will be looser. Mist your hair lightly with water and let it dry fully in the rod for a stronger result.
How long do heatless curls last?
Usually one day, sometimes two. Sleep with the curls loose and use a satin pillowcase to help them hold.
Do heatless curls work on short hair?
They work best on shoulder-length or longer hair. On short hair the rod can slip, so use smaller sections and a tighter tie.
